Vashty Roberts joins an elite rank
One of only 13 female licensed pilots holding her own in the traditionally male-dominated aviation industry Vashty Roberts, 23, has had a love for aviation since childhood. Today she is one of only 13 licensed female pilots in The Bahamas. VASHTY ROBERTS
The aviation industry has always been a part of Vashty Roberts’ life. The daughter of an aircraft engineer, she was practically raised at the airport and developed a love for the industry, but there’s one thing she says she has always known and it’s that she did not want to be the person fixing the aircraft. Vashty wanted to be at the controls – flying. Today, Vashty is a commercial rated multi-engine pilot with an instrument rating. All that fancy talk broken down means as a pilot, she can get paid to fly airplanes with two engines and that she’s familiar with flying in instrument conditions where visibility may not be the greatest.
